Illustration Friday: Forgotten -

"Edge of Darkness"
digital collage by Mick Mather

Illustration Friday offers the word forgotten as this week's theme. The 1943 film starring Errol Flynn as a hero of the WWII resistance in Norway aside, along with a pair of American and British soap operas, what I'm thinking about here are issues of reflection, recollection and being off far from home. Standing, for example, in an empty field, studying the horizon, watching the darkness wash quietly over you. Then turning to the setting sun as a sliver of sky turns every shade of blue, finally indigo, supposing the question, "can you really never go home again?"

Illustration Friday: Horizon -

From the COLLAGE-A-DAY Series

As I mentioned in Thursday's post, I was out celebrating the holiday season with colleagues and friends for the better part of Friday Night. A grand time was had by all! Now it's Saturday (although you couldn't know that until I spill the beans) and it's time to catch up. Here's my piece for Illustration Friday this week and what luck! While searching through my collage files, you I was rewarded with a piece already made for this week's theme - horizon. By coincidence, it's the second piece this week that references The Wizard of Oz. Who would've foreseen that? Well, later boys and girls, I'm on vacation and there's a stack of reading on the coffee table ... yup, right next to my blanket and pillow. Cheers!
